Striker Unveils "Strange Love" Video

Canadian shredders Striker will be hitting the road in April and May 2022 to support Finnish heavy metallers Beast In Black for their first North American headlining tour along with Florida power metal warriors Seven Kingdoms.

Before kicking off the first date of the tour in Orlando, FL on April 7th, Striker are unveiling their latest single "Strange Love" with a new music video that features the debut of the band's latest lineup addition of long time friend and guitarist John Simon Fallon (The Order of Chaos).

"Strange Love" is the band's first new music of 2022 since releasing their previous single 2021's "Deathwish". The band is currently in songwriting mode for their follow-up record to their Juno award-winning album 2018’s "Play To Win."

"When we wrote 'Strange Love' we were dabbling in the dark arts of funk, and although it really doesn’t sound like it we drew big inspiration from bands like Extreme and Faith No More. It was a bit of a detour on our metal journey, but it was a lot of fun to record. We have one more song to release from that recording session too, which leans even further into that style so keep an eye out for that!" adds vocalist Dan Cleary. More...

Static Abyss Posts New Lyric Video Online

Following on from the announcement from Autopsy’s Chris Reifert and Greg Wilkinson, that they have joined forces to create a new mouthpiece for a rotten age - Static Abyss and their debut studio album entitled "Labyrinth Of Veins" will be let loose on Peaceville on 22nd April. The duo have premiered a new lyric video, created by Matthew Vickerstaff, for the album’s title track.

"'Labyrinth Of Veins' slowly crawls evolving into a cacophonous wall of gloom. Unlike 'Jawbone Ritual,' this track remains slow and evil from front to back." explains Greg Wilkinson.

Static Abyss' debut studio album, "Labyrinth Of Veins," is an unnerving, multi-layered eerie concoction of dirty doom and death, Chris Reifert states the album themes are to “explore the echoes of insanity manifested through human existence.” The result; a sinister onslaught of, at times, slow and bludgeoning brutal metal whilst at others whipped into a storm of chaotic vile hysterics. The spirit of Autopsy is at times present in the truly titanic riffs swathed in chilling atmospheric guitar leads, whilst Chris’ seemingly bottomless pit of morbid inspiration from the dark & twisted corners of life permeate the release with his highly distinguishable delivery to further the descent into madness.

"Labyrinth of Veins" was recorded at Earhammer Studios in Oakland, CA, & Great American Music Hall, with engineering, mixing and mastering overseen by Greg himself. With the cover art appears courtesy of All Things Rotten. More...
